I have given Oceane and her lovely husband five stars as they looked after my dog Queenie while away having to take her to a few different vet appointments as she fell quite ill just before our departure I will always be grateful for the love and care they showed her during this time and my other dog Zac. I was just a little disappointed that they left the kitchen uncleaned with a dirty hob and surround and unclean saucepans put away in the cupboard Everything else was fine and I received regular updates while I was away

Adele is amazing with our dogs—they absolutely love going on walks with her! They're always so happy to be part of a pack, interacting with other dogs. The walks are varied too, with different locations each time, giving them new scenery to explore. Overall, we’re incredibly happy and highly recommend Adele. It’s wonderful to see our dogs socializing with other dogs and having so much fun!
5/5 across the board! My dog had the most wonderful time with Adele and all the dogs, and he loved seeing her everyday. I was so reassured and felt my dog was safe and well looked after whenever out with Adele. I could not recommend anyone more. Communication, approachability, flexibility, love of dogs and great pictures are all reasons I would choose Let's Go Pet Care! If we hadn't have moved, my boy would still be going for his strolls with Adele ☺️
I cannot recommend Adele enough! She is so lovely and friendly, she has been amazing with our dog. She really cares about her clients and their animals. I love the fact that she posts updates and photos of their walks each day. Definitely 5 stars 🌟 …
Adele has been a godsend for me since starting a new job. My frenchie adores her and she is always so tired when she comes home. It really makes such a difference knowing someone loves your pet like you do when you're not around. I've heard the little chats through the window! The daily photo uploads are an extra reassurance and shows just how much fun they have. Cannot recommend Adele highly enough
Adele has looked after my 3 kittens/cats several times. She's an utter professional and totally trustworthy. The cats love her and I love the updates & photos I get when I'm away! She's prepared to go above & beyond and deal with the unexpected if/when it's happened. I can't fault her. Plus her prices are competitive. Great on every level 😀
Brilliant experience so far with Let’s Go Pet Care. Adele is lovely and very accommodating! I do shift work so I give Adele my shifts in advance and she comes when needed. Little lily loves going on group walks and we’re sent photos and video updates some days and there’s a Facebook page you can see photos of your dog having fun whilst you’re at work ! Great peace of mind and the photos are always brilliant shots! Totally worth the money and means dogs aren’t left on there own all day. She does puppy pop in when they’re young so they can be let out during the day to do their business. Would definitely recommend if you’re in the area and looking for a dog walker. You can see how happy lily is!
Adele has looked after our cat Dave whilst we’ve been on 2 holidays this year, firstly for a week and secondly for 2.5 weeks. Dave absolutely loved Adele! Having Adele pop in everyday meant zero cattery stress for Dave and he was super chilled out when we got home. Adele even had no issue with kindly clearing up the couple of half-eaten gifts that Dave brought in! I highly recommend Adele for any pet care needs. Thank you Adele!
Adele starting taking our Labrador in January this year. He absolutely loves it and has made some doggy friends. Adele always posts pictures of each walk which gives peace of mind that they are having fun. Adele is professional, keeps in touch and always confirms the walk time. She is flexible and will always try and help with last minute requests. Would highly recommend let’s go pets care
Highly recommend Let’s Go Pet Care. Milo loves walking with Adele, and we love seeing what he’s been up to via the photos shared. Adele is accommodating when we need extra walks, which is really helpful for flexible working. She is also professional and friendly.
We have been using Let's Go Pet Care for about a year now and it has been a fantastic decision. Cosmo loves going out with Adele for his walks and it means he socialises with other dogs. Cosmo is a very energetic labrador, he comes home happy, tired and always clean (sorry Adele we know he loves puddles). I would highly recommend.
Always the best service
I'm thrilled with the service WLPN provided for cat sitting my Luna. She is very timid and runs and hides whenever I have visitors (she's a rescue) but Perri was great with her and within days had her cuddling up on the sofa and playing with her toys! If you want a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter whilst you're on holiday, I'd recommend We Love Pets Newbury, and will definitely be using them again, thank you to the team!
Me and my partner had never used a dog walker before; being first time dog parents we were so anxious to leave our fur-baby with someone that wasn’t family. But I can wholeheartedly say how pleased and happy we are with the service and support we’ve received from We Love Pets. Our lovely doggie absolutely adores Perri and Beverley and they clearly adore him too, we couldn’t ask for two better people. They’re both very passionate about what they do and this reflects hugely. We get photos every time they visit him and a lovely descriptive message telling us what he’s been up to. They’re both truly an asset to We Love Pets 🐶 also a huge thank you to Julie who keeps in touch constantly and answers any nagging question I may have, always putting my mind at rest with any worries I had at the beginning. These guys are truly the best!!! *additional photo of doggie in question 🥰
My border collie girl Tala and I highly recommend We Love Pets Newbury. My girl is really anxious and has very specific handling needs which are always met, above and beyond. Her walker is so attentive to her needs, he's really earnt her trust and I am completely confident leaving her in his care. The team are so reliable, professional and adaptable even when walks are needed last minute. I've now used two branches of We Love Pets after moving area and I cannot fault the service.
We couldn't have been happier with the service we received from We Love Pets Newbury. From our initial contact communication was excellent and we were quickly linked up with Kate who took wonderful care of our chickens while we were away, sending us updates and even watering the plants while she was there as it was a hot week. Kate and Julie were really understanding of the uncertainties in our plans due to covid. We're so grateful and will definitely be using them again. Thank you!
Can't recommend 'we love pets Newbury ' enough. When we moved into the area we wanted to find a trustworthy & quality service for our new puppy, and were so happy when we found that. We were extremely lucky to be given Kate as our dog walker / sitter. She dedicates every minute solely to your dog & couldn't be any sweeter. The connection was there instantly & we immediately felt happy in her company & Nyla loved her. It makes a huge difference knowing your dog is in safe hands & having quality play time. We will continue to use We love pets when necessary and look forward to using their boarding services over the summer.
There is no need to look any further for your local, reliable dog walker, we Love Pets Newbury are highly recommended! Julie has always been very accommodating of the needs of our two dogs and last minute changes are never too much trouble. Having previously used a number of different dog walking companies in the area the communication and administration for We Love Pets is by far the best! We were lucky to be assigned Tracey as our regular dog walker and she is great with the dogs, sending pictures and updates after each walk and always communicating with us on the odd occasion she is running behind schedule. It is such a comfort knowing that they are being taken care of so well when we are away at work. The dogs love her and get so excited when they see her which is really reassuring to know that they are having a great time on their walks.
I can highly recommend the Newbury branch of We Love Pets. Julie was really helpful and flexible working with us to get our pet care sorted, and completely understood how important it was that we felt comfortable leaving them. Kate from Julie’s team visited before we went away and took every care to ensure she understood in detail the needs of our dogs, cat and chickens! We couldn’t have been happier with We Love Pets and most importantly we came back to happy animals. Thank you both very much.
I can highly recommend We Love Pets Newbury. My dog, Millie, is a rescue and can be quite nervous meeting new people, but was instantly at ease. She loves her walks with Beverley, and often sits by the door waiting for her! Danielle has been so supportive during Millie’s recovery from an operation recently, always checking in to see how she’s been doing. Thank you all for taking such good care of Millie 😊
I have used We Love Pets since my cavapoo Roxy was just 9 weeks old! Roxy is nearly 3 now and Kate has been her primary dog walker the whole time. I can’t recommend Kate enough. She loves Roxy and Roxy loves her back! Kate is always on time and always sends me updates and photos of her walks. Most of all I love how Kate genuinely cares for Roxy and enjoys their time together. She is so great at her job and I totally trust her. If Kate is ever away she lets me know and We love pets will always arrange an alternative walker. They are also great at accommodating last minute changes to schedules! I’m a regular customer and have never had any need to look elsewhere. Highly recommend.
Danielle did a wonderful job looking after our budgie. Danielle was very professional, very caring and has a great passion for animals. It’s the first time we have used “We Loves Pets” and will again be using their services in the future. Skye (our budgie) was very well looked after and very happy. Thank you so much. 100% satisfaction.
Simon is fantastic and we can’t recommend him enough. He has been taking our 1 year lab called Blake out about 3 times a week for the past 3 months. He is reliable, friendly and absolutely loves dogs. He has helped us with lots of advice and we really trust him. Simon house sits too and his prices for everything are very reasonable. We would struggle without him and Blake loves his walks.
Simon pet care is amazing, he is so good with our year old puppy Fuse, Fuse is so excited when he hears Simon coming and I know he is great hands when out on walks. Simon will always help us when needed and was so supportive when Fuse was a tiny puppy.
Simon has been walking our dog Ruby for over 6 years since she was a puppy, he is reliable and accommodating. He has been great from day one flexible and always has the best interest of the dogs, we wouldn’t use anyone else, fantastic person and dog Walker, we couldn’t recommend more highly, thanks for everything you fo for our Ruby
I would not leave my dog with anyone else. Simon and his associates are amazing, always really accomodating and more importantly have a great way with dogs and other animals. I have used Simon for dog walking and for dog and house sitting while away for weeks at a time and I couldn't recommend them highly enough.
Simon has been looking after our staffie for years, always available for short notice requests (he 'saved the day' more than once). Now taking our dog for regular walks. Very professional and reliable, highly recommended 👌 …
Simon is incredible! He really cares and goes above and beyond, my dog really looks forward his walks and always comes back well exercised and very happy. Thank you Simon
Always reliable and professional and my dog adores Simon. Highly recommended
Highly recommend Steph and Robbie. My dog needed walking whilst I was recovering from a broken ankle. Reliable service and my dog loved his walks with Robbie.
Having recently moved to the area with a 5 month old GSP puppy, we knew finding the right care was going to be important for us & our pup. Jacqui & the team have been fabulous in accommodating our ever changing needs. They have been fabulous at taking things slowly with our pup, introducing her gradually to new places & new friends. They have been consistent with re-enforcing whatever training we have been working on & she is always happily shattered when she gets home. We couldn't be happier with Sallie & Tilly for her daycare play dates & Aliyah for fun walks. We are so grateful our pup is in kind & experienced hands with Jacqui & the team.
My dog is basically my child so I’m very fussy about leaving her with people. I am therefore so happy to have found We Love Pets. Jacqui has introduced me to some truly lovely people who have made my dog so happy and put my mind at ease. I have no qualms leaving her now as I know I can completely trust that she will be well looked after. Highly recommended - five stars plus!
Our whole experience with We Love Pets has been fantastic. The initial consultation in our home was so reassuring. Jacqui is so thorough, sensible and understanding. Then our first daycare session went so well, our dogs were so calm when I collected them and had really bonded with the person taking care of them. I feel I can really trust this company and will definitely be using them again, as I have total peace of mind about our dogs' wellbeing.
Having We Love Pets with Jacqui, Denise and the team in our lives is amazing and we couldn’t ask for better dog care. They have been incredibly caring and loving with our excitable dog Buster. He goes out and has the best adventures and comes home to a cozy, cuddly home, where we always know he’s looked after with the best care. Denise and Jacqui are both amazing and knowing your dog is going to safe and loving hands makes going away that much better. Can’t recommend We Love Pets Wantage enough!
Jacqui and the team at We Love Pets are so much more than dog walkers/sitters. I feel so reassured when I need to leave our dog, knowing they care as much as we do. It’s not just a job for them, they genuinely care & I can’t recommend them enough. Recently I had arranged for our Jack Russell to be walked and I was a bit worried as she hadn’t been herself that morning. I just emailed to let them know & Jacqui called me & arranged to spilt the walk and check on her twice so I could be reassured. Our dog was absolutely fine but it was so nice to know she was being kept an eye on.
Jacqui, her team and family were the perfect minders for our little puppy Mia. She felt at home immediately and we knew instantly that she was in good, safe, caring, professional and trustworthy hands. Mia was so happy at the end of her first day. Jacqui is excellent at communicating and has all the skills needed to work with dogs. I would give Jacqui a highest recommendation.
Fantastic service. Thoughtful, caring dog walks tailored for each dog. Professionally run by consistent, flexible and transparent staff who genuinely care about our pets. Highly recommend this service, it’s the best I’ve ever used.
Jacqui and the team have been absolutely amazing and I would happily recommend them to anyone. My dog is slightly nervous when meeting new people and it takes him a little time to build trust. They were gentle, kind and patient with him and now have a great bond. I've never used dog walkers in all my years of dog ownership (over 15 years) so it was a big thing for me to trust someone else with my dog, to take care of him and to not reinforce and negative behaviour. I only wish I could take these ladies with me to where I'm relocating! Special mention goes to India, who does most of the walks, I love and appreciate the little notes and I'm so grateful for your caring attitude towards my boy.
We used We Love Pets Wantage for the first time recently. Having experienced the most awful pet sitter previously we were super cautious about booking another one. Needless to say we didn't need to worry. From start to finish the service was faultless. Jacqui put us at ease and carefully selected the most suitable person for us and Rosa worked out just perfectly. We had regular updates and photos sent and came back to very happy animals in great shape who'd obviously had a very enjoyable week. Our house had also been very well looked after too which was an added bonus. We will certainly use them again when we need pet sitters. Thank you Jacqui
We contacted the Wantage branch of We Love Pets when we unexpectedly and suddenly needed care for a family dog, because his owner ended up in hospital. What a fantastic service they gave - finding a last-minute ‘holiday home’ for him, collecting him, taking him to a vet appointment, and generally welcoming him to the family. And Jacqui, who arranged all this, was so nice and helpful, and made things so easy in a stressful situation. And she kept us posted with photos to show how well he had settled in. We would highly recommend this company and, if future care is needed, would go back there immediately. A big ‘thank you’ to the We Love Pets team.
Kevin and Cristal are extremely likeable and recently looked after our 15 month old Labrador, Luna for a 4 night stay....Luna was extremely well looked after and obviously enjoyed her time with them...would highly recommend to anyone looking for a trusting dog carer
Kevin and Cristal are great. Really knowledgeable and lovely - super accommodating. I picked up my two dogs from an overnight stay and they were very happy - they had been brilliantly taken care of and they clearly really like Cristal, Kevin and Buddy! Total peace of mind.
Kevin has looked after my girls for years, from young until now old. He is very easy to deal with and always reliable. Can definitely recommend Buddy’s Pet Care
My regular dog sitter was fully booked, so needless to say I was quite nervous about finding a new sitter for my furry baby while we were supposed to go on vacation. After intensive search for a new host, I got in touch with Kevin & Crystal from Buddy's Pet Care. Chester usually barks at strangers, needs a bit of time to warm up to people. As soon as we got at their place for a meet and greet, instead of barking he was all kisses and jumps of joy. I realized that Chester will be in good hands during his 3 weeks stay with them. During our vacation, I received updates with photos and comforting words to let me know that Chester was doing great. It was obvious that they care about dogs - loves and treats them as they are their own. Kevin and Crystal are beyond awesome. Thank you very much for putting me at ease and for taking such a good care of our boy. Highly recommended for all the pet parents. 5 Stars review, very well deserved. We have booked already Chester’s stay with them for our Christmas vacation.
Needed a dog sitter very quickly in the area and found Buddy's using google maps. Crystal had my Border Collie, Mya straight away for me, no questions. She's an absolute life saver. Thank you so much. Xx
When my parents were unexpectedly taken ill at very short notice, Kevin was able to collect my parent’s puppy and look after him for us, while they recovered. Initially this was to be for a long weekend, and they ended up having Toby for two weeks. Very reliable, and totally flexible, nothing was too much trouble for Kevin and Crystal. Toby has obviously been extremely well looked after, and has come home happy and well. We will definitely use their services again, and recommend to all our doggy friends.
Our dogs love it. They are well cared for and happy to go each time! They also offer boarding if you need it. We left our dogs for a week while we were away on a trip that wasn't dog friendly. They were happy and healthy and while pleased to see us visible happy to be at buddy's.
Jan 2023: Our dog has just spent the last 2.5 years with Buddy, Kevin and Cristal. Our dog would bound out the front door, so excited to see them - they've been a huge part of his development. Kevin and Cristal treated our dog like their own and gave us advice when we asked for it. Freddie spent many nights and a few weeks whilst we went away, without a single issue. So sad we have now moved away from the area, but hoping our dog gets his holidays at Buddy's still. Thank you Kevin and Cristal, you're amazing! Nov 2020: Our dog absolutely loves his days with Buddy and the other pooches. We haven't used Buddy's for any overnights yet, just daycare - but we won't hesitate too.
Kevin has looked after our outdoor rabbit on several occasions and he is always reliable, trustworthy, does an excellent job and often goes above and beyond. When it was very hot he put ice bottles out for the bunny to cool down against! We will continue to be using him and thoroughly recommend his services for any pets.
We used Kevin from Buddy's Pet Care to pop in & look after our cat whilst we were away on holiday and we couldn't be happier with the service! Very personable service from start to finish, with everything thought out and more - nothing was too much trouble & our cat well looked after & more importantly happy! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use the service again in the future.
Kate has been absolutely incredible! We feel so comfortable leaving our dog Mabel with her, Mabel gets so excited whenever we drop her off because she knows and loves Kate now! Kate makes such an effort to send us Mabel updates and reassure us when leaving Mabel. We are so happy to have found West Barks! (Added bonus is Mabel always sleeps for ages after spending time with Kate lol)!
Kate was very kind to our beagle Poppy when she went to stay while we were on holiday. Kate provided regular “pupdates” on WhatsApp with photos and videos which we enjoyed receiving. It also gave us peace of mind. We would recommend West Barks to any dog owner looking for a home from home for their precious pup! 🐶
Not sure I’ve ever met a bigger dog lover than Kate. We look forward to handing our Labrador over to her for the weekends we go away because he’s always spoilt absolutely rotten and treated like he’s her own. An absolute professional who we trust implicitly with our dog. Can’t speak highly enough of Kate’s services!
Kate has been so amazing, I genuinely recommend her to everyone. I have two dogs and have never left them with anyone else before. I use Kate’s doggy daycare when I need to go into London for work and it is an absolute lifesaver! The dogs love their walks and time with her, they have such fun- they also love resident pup Chester! Kate sends regular photo updates so you can see what they’re up to, which is so nice. They come back home very happy and sleepy from all their lovely walks. Highly recommend!
We have recently started using West BARKs for daycare for my beagle Darcy and Kate has been brilliant! She communicates really well, she is friendly but professional and wants to understand and learn about your dog, sends updates during the day (from walks and snoozes!) and I feel really happy leaving Darcy with her. Would highly recommend.
Wonderful service from Kate. Reliable and flexible. Pip adores his weekly walks. I would highly recommend West Barks!
Kate takes fabulous care of our dog. She gives so much care and love, and is one of Maisie’s favourite people and places to go.
We would highly recommend this Doggy Daycare! Helen has created a calm and happy place for dogs to spend time and our little dog (who is quite nervous) is always really happy to go there. Helen is caring and very knowledgable about dogs - she’s our first port of call if we have any questions about our dog’s health or behaviour. We have been sending Hetty to Helen for 3 years now, and we see many of the same dogs there each week, so I know she has low turnover of clients which makes for a relaxed atmosphere. Can’t fault it - and a great location for the station and other commutes. Sara & James
I highly recommend Helen at Doggy Day Care Thatcham and Newbury. My dog Finn has anxiety and Helen is so caring and kind with him. He absolutely loves when she opens the door to welcome him in the morning. I know he has a great time when he is there, going for a walk and then playing with the other dogs during the day. She treats the dogs like her own and clearly their welfare is her priority. I am really glad that I found Helen and that Finn is so happy there!
I cannot recommend Helen enough! Our rescue gets very stressed with change so it was important for us to have someone who she’d like and who we can trust to take good care of her when we’re at work. She immediately felt at home at Helen’s and sees Helen’s place as her second home. All the dogs there are well socialised with each other and have great dynamics, they’re all best pals. We went through a few doggy day cares and we’ve never felt fully comfortable leaving our girl there, with Helen we’re completely at ease.
I can't recommend Helen and her Day Care highly enough! Des has been coming here twice a week for about 18 months since he was 5 months old and loves every minute. We get regular video updates of his antics and can see why he sleeps so well when he gets home. We like the fact that it's a small group of the same well behaved dogs and they all seem to get on really well.
We have taken our older rescue dog to Helen since we adopted him a year ago and she has helped him socialise and develop so much. We’re very grateful for the love and care she gives, as well as lots of great advice. Jacob absolutely loves going to see Helen and play with the other dogs, it’s been crucial for many reasons! 10/10 would recommend, always great communication and photos/videos of them playing
My dog has been cared for by Helen in her Day Care for over a year and he really likes her. The quality of care is at a very high standard and I know that my fur baby is happy and safe. I recommend Doggy Day Care Thatcham and Newbury with all my heart! 5 stars!
Both Tilly and I are so happy with Helen's dedicated care. Helen provides the dogs with love, exercise, play and security. She often sends photos and videos of the dogs having fun or cuddling up with her. I completely trust Helen with Tilly's care.
Helen is fantastic, she is very caring and very supportive, always ensuring all dogs welfare is a priority. Shona adores Helen and loves going and playing with the other dogs. She always sleeps well after her day of fun and love.
Our Dog Archie loves his time at Doggy Day Care Thatcham & Newbury - it provides a friendly, relaxed and safe environment for the dogs in Helen’s care. The daily updates Helen provides when Archie is with her are lovely and really reassured us when Archie first started going to day care... he is so happy to go, he doesn't even notice I have gone when I drop him off in the morning!!
Fantastic environment for your beloved pup to socialise and grow. We have trusted Helen with our pup since he was 4 months old and Helen treats him as though he was her own. Professional, knowledgeable and caring. Couldn't imagine sending our boy anywhere else
Trusted pet carers is truly a good find, the service and care they offer is amazing. I used them when I went away for 2 weeks and when I came back off holiday I found my spaniels Tanya & Tamsin to be well fed and well cared for – not wanting to come home! They get spoilt with attention.
